All I Once Held Dear (Knowing You Jesus)

All I once held dear, built my life upon,

All this world reveres, and wars to own,

All I once thought gain I have counted loss,

Spent and worthless now, compared to this.

 

Knowing You, Jesus,

Knowing You, there is no greater thing,

You’re my all, You’re the best

You’re my joy, my righteousness

And I love You, Lord.

 

All my heart’s desire is to know You more

To be found in You and known as Yours

To possess by faith what I could not earn

All-surpassing gift of righteousness.

 

Knowing You, Jesus,

Knowing You, there is no greater thing,

You’re my all, You’re the best

You’re my joy, my righteousness

And I love You, Lord.

 

Oh to know the power of Your risen life

And to know You in Your sufferings

To become like You in Your death my Lord

So with You to live and never die.

 

Knowing You, Jesus,

Knowing You, there is no greater thing,

You’re my all, You’re the best

You’re my joy, my righteousness

And I love You, Lord.
